Well, I'm back, feeling rather tired and yes, a tad lonely, from 12 days away on my 'working' visit at my mom's. The seven days I was scheduled to mark diploma exams extended into ten! Bleary-eyed by the end...but happy for the extra time to hang out with my family! My husband joined us for the weekend, and we headed back early Monday morning...in a snowstorm...where I left him at the airport (business trip to Austria...) and then braved the nasty road conditions all on my own. White-knuckled drive...but I made it! On my own for the next few days so we know what I'll be doing...crafting! And being messy about it, too! *grin*

Anyway, the 'important news' is that I'm thrilled to be joining Shery and her awesome team for Day 1 of STAMPlorations Love TAGplorations. Seven days of tag-making fun from the team, as well as opportunities for you to win prizes! Woo hoooo! Easy peasy: hop-and-comment and/or (preferably 'and'...) play along with us. All you need to do: design a love or Valentine themed card and add it to the link at STAMPlorations.

Two simple one-layer love tags for you today, featuring the Luggage Tag Nesting Dies, Mixed Media Grunge (I don't see it at the shop...eek!), Mixed Media Elements and Blossom Overture. The variety of mixed media images takes the guess work out of creating a cool background...and is especially wonderful for those of us, like me, who aren't quite sure how to 'do' mixed media on our own...

Okay...sending you on your way....lots to see from the rest of the team! See you in the gallery, right? Right!

Stay tuned for more tags in the next couple of days...

Quick note: I'm doing my best to catch up on your fabulous creations of late! Your wonderful visits and comments on my couple o' posts while I was 'away' are soooo appreciated! Treasure friends, all!

A mixed blessing to be home after such a long visit, I'm sure. Especially with the hubby away before you even get there. Your tags are nice an eclectic, which is the epitome of mixed media, no? Lovely roses on a unique background. You chose some great colors! :)

Welcome

Welcome to "Just Me: c", my work-in-progress, new learning space where I dabble in the 'art of the card.' I'm an enthusiastic amateur, with plenty to learn. Sometimes - okay, often - silly 'what was she thinking' things will appear. Thanks for stopping by...
